Shloka 126

अर्जुनस्य शीघ्रप्रयाणं भीम-शकुनियुद्धं च

Arjuna’s Rapid Advance and the Bhīma–Śakuni Encounter

सिद्धचारणसंघाश्न सम्पेतुस्ते समन्‍्ततः । चिन्तयन्तो भवेदद्य लोकानां स्वस्त्यपीति च,सिद्धों और चारणोंके समुदाय सब ओरसे वहाँ आ पहुँचे और यह चिन्तन करने लगे कि “आज सम्पूर्ण जगत्‌का कल्याण हो”

siddhacāraṇasaṅghāś ca sampetuste samantataḥ | cintayanto bhaved adya lokānāṃ svasty apīti ca ||

Sañjaya berkata: Rombongan Siddha dan Cāraṇa berhimpun di sana dari segenap penjuru. Dengan renungan bersama, mereka berdoa, “Moga hari ini sejahtera bagi semua alam.” Di tengah keganasan perang, bait ini menampilkan arus balas yang membawa niat muhibah—para saksi langit mengarahkan fikiran kepada kebajikan sejagat, bukan kemenangan pihak tertentu.

Educational Q&A

Even amid a destructive conflict, the highest ethical orientation is not mere triumph but the welfare (svasti) of all beings. The Siddhas and Cāraṇas embody an ideal of auspicious, universal-minded intention that stands above factional hatred.

Sañjaya reports that celestial groups—Siddhas and Cāraṇas—arrive from all directions at the scene and, as witnesses, contemplate and express a wish that the day may bring well-being to all the worlds.
